THE FESTIVAL

The festival, that has been taking place in Florence for seven
years, is
one of the most important events worldwide devoted to the new
communication
technologies in architecture.

BEYOND MEDIA/OLTRE I MEDIA, international festival of architecture
in
video, is an yearly event promoted by the Department of
Architectural
Technologies and Design "Pierluigi Spadolini" of the University of
Florence, curated by Marco Brizzi and organized by iMage. The
festival has
been observing since 1997 the advance of multimedia devices in the
field of
architecture by evaluating their impact on contemporary
architectural
production and by promoting quality and research in the development
of
communication media for design projects.

The festival program is articulated through: a selection and
presentation
of the most recent and significant video and multimedia productions
realized worldwide; installations of interactive environments,
projection
of films and television documentaries; meetings with the
protagonists of
the international debate, scholars, designers; investigation on the
contemporary production and discussion of emerging theories;
exploration of
architectural design methodologies based upon the application of
video
tools and digital systems; international exhibition of architectural
projects developed in multimedia settings; training workshop in
multimedia
design, audio-visual production in architecture, project
communication.




THE THEME OF THE NEXT EDITION: "INTIMACY"

In order to acknowledge the impact and disclose the most significant
consequences of the transformations brought about by the new
communication
media (both with respect to the design discipline and to the way
everyday
spaces are used), this year's festival identified a topic to which
several
contemporary issues are related. The 7th edition of the
International
Festival of Architecture in Video is devoted to the topic
of "INTIMACY".

Which are today the spatial ambits of privacy, of protection, of
safety, of
intimacy? According to which modes and within what boundaries does
the
familiar, domestic dimension of the inhabited space take shape
today? Which
are, today, the limits and the forms of the public nature of space?
Which
characteristics do the environments built by new technologies around
individuals take on? Through the theme "INTIMACY", the 2003 edition
of
BEYOND MEDIA/OLTRE I MEDIA will once again investigate contemporary
architecture: built, designed or imagined architecture. It will do
it by
taking into consideration architecture as it is when observed, told
and
produced through the media. The public will be led to observe the
inhabited
space, the city, the territory and consider the role of publishing,
television, cinema; it will be guided into the intimate space of
satellite
devices, information and mobile communication networks, control and
surveillance instruments. The effects of communication technologies
in
shaping inhabited space will be explored.

Within this broad topic, the BEYOND MEDIA/OLTRE I MEDIA festival
will once
again pinpoint the most significant aspects of the transformation
brought
about by the media, thus proposing an overview of the most
interesting
researches in the field. The festival will especially focus on the
consequences produced by the impact of the media, thus anticipating
possible future scenarios.
